The Reality Of Duality (Spoken "in" South Africa)
from Beth El of Manhattan, Two-Testament Synagogue · host Rabbi Bruce L. Cohen
Sermon was given via the ZOOM teleconference app "in" Congregation Beit Ariel of Cape Town, South Africa - and then rebroadcast as the Sermon for the Manhattan Erev Shabbat Service 7 hours later. This week’s parasha is “Toledot” – “Generations” – and we see the full range of human glory and weakness expressed in one family: ours! Nature and Nurture, Favoritism and Faith, Lion-heart and Lily-liver ... the sermon this week is aptly entitled “The Reality Of Duality.” How God engages with our flaws and glories, without compromising His character on either! Beit Ariel of Cape Town, South Africa is a synagogue and community our Rabbi Bruce has influenced as a “shaliakh” since the 1980s, and with which he retains a vibrant connection dating from then to the present. We hope you enjoy connecting with this Two-Testament Synagogue on the other side of the world!
